Impact of angiotensin converting enzyme inhibition on post- coronary artery bypass interleukin 6 release [PDF]
Background: Angiotensin 1 converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors reduce morbidity and mortality after coronary artery bypass graft surgery (CABG). This benefit may result from an anti- inflammatory action.

Increased IL-8 concentrations in the cerebrospinal fluid of patients with unipolar depression
Introduction: Unipolar depression is a common and debilitating disorder. Immunological explanatory approaches have become increasingly important in recent years and can be studied particularly well in the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF).

ESTIMATION OF ITERLEUKIN-8 AS A BIOMARKER OF AIR POLUTION IN BRONCHIAL LAVAGE OF ASTHMATIC PATIENTS [PDF]
Bronchial asthma is regarded as an allergic inflammation of the airways. Air pollutants have been shown to enhance allergic responses and previous studies have demonstrated that air pollutant stimulate airway epithelial cells to produce various cytokines

IFN-gamma impairs release of IL-8 by IL-1beta-stimulated A549 lung carcinoma cells [PDF]
Background Production of interferon (IFN)-gamma is key to efficient anti-tumor immunity. The present study was set out to investigate effects of IFNgamma on the release of the potent pro-angiogenic mediator IL-8 by human A549 lung carcinoma cells ...

Priming by recombinant chicken interleukin-2 induces selective expression of IL-8 and IL-18 mRNA in chicken heterophils during receptor-mediated phagocytosis of opsonized and nonopsonized Salmonella enterica serovar enteritidis [PDF]
Heterophils, the principal avian polymorphonuclear leukocytes (PMNs) equivalent to the mammalian neutrophil, function as professional phagocytes against bacterial infections, mediate acute inflammation, and respond to cytokine stimulation to aid in ...
